in the democratically controlled senate i think that democratic initiatives and president obama's initiatives are going to fail because they can't get enough democrats to support it. it's -- the vast majority of republicans, save one or two in the senate will proe a lot of these measures, but their problem will be they won't be able to get that final six or seven democrats, they are from big rural states mostly, out west and the upper midwest. they'll have a hard time getting them to go along with any of this because they would pay a heavy price with their voters. it will be very interesting to watch this sort of interparty squabble as it goes forward. jon: clearly no one wants to see another newtown massacre. has there than enough of a sea change on capitol hill that something is going to get done? >> i don't think so because honestly what you don't have is you don't have -- we don't have hearings going on right now about these violent video games that are almost like simulators for carrying out these events. you don't have big hearings into some of the hollywood movies, that glorify this ki
